When a car dinged their car, my brother and sister in law had them (the kids) call the insurance company and deal with it--to teach them how to deal with life. Now obviously, my brother and sister in law were always around to supervise if the kids needed help or had a question about what to ask the insurance company... But when they go off to college, they will know how to pay their own bills, budget their expenses etc.

I read that Paris was saying that being strip searched in prison was the most humiliating experience for her. Um, no, only a few people saw that. I'd be more humiliated by that SEX tape that she willingly agreed to (the taping of it anyhow) and that was seen by thousands or millions (I have no idea why anyone would want to see that tape but whatever).

I don't think that all kids are geared for college and perhaps that wouldn't have been best for Paris. But her parents should've encouraged her to DO something with her life other than going to parties and getting her picture taken. I don't think she's particularly attractive, but at least she's got youth on her side now. What is she supposed to do for a living when she's 45 or 50 and no one wants her to come to their parties anymore? Or if they were going to enable her lifestyle, they should've taught her that sharing her good fortune with those less fortunate is probably the best gift she could offer. And I don't mean showing up at a food bank once a year to serve Thanksgiving turkey. But actually donating some money to help a village get clean water, putting some money into a local orphanage so kids have a nice home to grow up in ('cause let's face it, a lot of older kids will never be adopted), setting up a trust or scholarship fund for needy children who'd like to pursue higher education...

Even if for no other reason than to get good publicity, I'd do this. It boggles my mind that Paris lives in her own little world where no one else matters...and certainly not those unhawt poor people!

I agree with you 100&#37; but Paris didn't even graduate from High School (even though she claims to have a GED- where is the certificate? She can posed infront of the cameras with it) Anyway, college is not an option for her nor any vocational training school. The only skills she seems to have is laying on her back (you get the drift).

Re: Miscellaneous Celebrity News

It's official. Paris' pal, Nicole Ritchie is indeed pregnant of her boyfriend of "more than 6 months". I quoted the more than 6 months from TV Guide because to me it's absurd that she is pregnant after dating a guy for only 6 months. I know in Hollywood time, you can get married, pregnant and divorced in 6 months, still I find it's awfully early.

Re: Miscellaneous Celebrity News

Well, Nicole has, proudly, not shown herself to be too very bright since we've been watching her, has she? It's just more of the same but, unfortunately, now she's bringing an innocent baby into the picture.

Re: Miscellaneous Celebrity News

I'm pretty stunned that she is even able to get pregnant. It's hard to believe with her being so extremely skinny, and having such poor eating habits that she had enough of a cycle.

Same here...When Courteney Cox from "Friends" was trying to get pregnant, she said her doctor had her gain a little weight (about 5 more pounds at least) and stop working out excessively 'cause she was so thin (and she was Hollywood Thin, but not skeletal like Nicole is).

I remember reading reports a month or more ago that said Nicole was seen leaving a fertility clinic a few times...which sounded so odd given her young age. I wonder if she used IVF to deliberately get pregnant, hoping it'd help keep her out of jail. I know it sounds crazy and far fetched... But hey, this is Nicole we're talking about!

Re: Miscellaneous Celebrity News

Many jails that house women have plans for women who are pregnant. They receive medical care and go to the hospital to deliver the baby then return to jail (without the baby) to complete their sentence.
